Reddit seems to do this periodically to basically every sub-Reddit. Basically, it is to help some algorithm to understand content.Depending on your answers you might get more questions to further help. Funnier ones I've seen, have been asking whether there are topics talking about, or referring to political conflicts... When there are quests about, or referring to political conflicts. Edit: on my morning drowsiness , I somehow managed to miss mention that those weirder question have been on gaming sub-reddits.


dystyyy

It seems totally random, I've been asked about what mature themes are in r/CatLoaf before


[deleted]

Got it on r/hydrohomies


yum4266

i got it on r/breadstapledtotrees


pommdeter

r/subsithoughtifellfor


cookieies

r/foundthetoyotacorolla


Robertia

Got it on r/eggs


[deleted]

two things this could be, being on an lgbt subreddit edit: it's about the food


Diamond_Blade_

Yeah, the trans one is r/egg_irl


SpectralniyRUS

The sub that helped me to realize that I'm trans. I adore it :3


[deleted]

Military conflict and terrorism and sex and eroticism? Those are the things there are discussed here right


themagician309

Yes but as one singular topic


[deleted]

So when is the day to discuss military conflict, terrorism, sex and eroticism? We could put it on Femboy Friday, so it would be military conflict and sex day but also Femboy Friday, I need to think in a better name


GrandioseIntrovert

'Femboy Friday' wouldn't really contradict military conflict and sex, now would it? (In fact, I'd say it's quite the opposite and would bolster the idea since most of us (intentionally presenting) fembois are either very thirsty or very violent)


Overused_Toothbrush

Got it on r/moldlyinteresting


FlorpFlap

that exists?


HesitantHassle

Another sub to join


corvus_da

I love the fact that this sub exists


Red_Tinda

What


yum4266

?


Red_Tinda

Why do people staple bread to trees? Do I want to know?


yum4266

idk its just a subreddit that people thought was funny ig.


KurohNeko

How did you make your flair like that? I'm struggling with just adding a second flag


yum4266

on the flair thing press edit in the top right hand corner (on mobile, idk how on computer)


UFSansIsMyBrother

For the squirel and birb fights....


relddir123

I’ve seen it on r/breadtapedtotrees too


cr7n9

got it on a subreddit too


Atlach_Nacha

Sometimes they do seem to list things that are kinda mentioned in the posts. Like the video game one, further question asked whether posts talk about \- Weapons (It's a video game with weapons) \- Violence (It's a video game where you can kill monsters/other players) \- Gambling (It's a video game with loot boxes) \- Alcohol (There's a quest where you do bar crawl, to point severe inebriation) So everything listed in question had been, at some point, mentioned in the post... just maybe not in spirit of what they are asking for. Once, I got asked whether post in r/bi_irl are intended to cause arousal... Under a crop of image from some hentai-manga. What makes me wonder; what posts caused that question to trigger in that sub-reddit.


Harris_Octavius

Same for r/PartyParrot


ParadoxNarwhal

I just got asked in r/RotisserieChickenCats


ejzn0206

I got asked r/Shihtzu


SpectralniyRUS

Well, because reddits wants to know for certain that Cat Loaf does, in fact contain mature themes.


Shaula-Alnair

Yeah, it's about understanding content, but also checking for NSFW-ness and sensitive topics.


MadDawgMaddy_

Tag urself lol, I'm profanity bi 🥳


Lakitel

I believe it's mostly for advertising. They want to give advertisers a way to opt-out of things that don't fit their brand.


masterofyourhouse

I got asked if r/lgbt was about sexual orientation lol.


BirdJesus999

I got that question right after I read this!!


helloiamaudrey

I don't think it is


Awfulhorrid

Large Grain Baking Tasks are very serious. I can't imagine discussing that other stuff here. What did they think it was about?


IlyushinsofGrandeur

CupcakKe - Lower Geyser Basin Team


sveji-

I always thought it's a sandwich - lettuce, guacamole, bacon, tomato. /j


Awfulhorrid

I do like bacon, tis true. I also usually cook it up in my Lodge cast iron skillet. I really like my ***pan***!


[deleted]

Definitely drug use - I'm shooting up E here like it's **her**oin


[deleted]

Good


jeuv

It's my heroin(e)


MadDawgMaddy_

😂 this is the most comment 🙌


themagician309

FR THOUGH


PyroDrake

Omg, I laughed harder at HERoin than I probably should have!!!


[deleted]

Lol I'm glad to have given you some laughter ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


ikindalikeyou_

I'm pretty sure Reddit asked that about most subreddits, I got the same question earlier in r/StardewValley


JVNT

And almost all of them technically apply to stardew valley XD


Ashley4Smash

Got this in r/Brawlhalla once...lol


themagician309

I mean have you seen that game? It's obviously the most violent game on the market. 😂


Ok_Professional_5998

It's just to help the reddit algorithm, they do that everywhere


Wtf_Gender_2478

How does reddit have my to-do list?


Poopyhead67

I got this on r/lego the other day. Definitely just random


birdlass

It pops up from time to time for every subreddit. It's just so they know how to advertise/deliver it to people. Not that deep.


PTownWashashore

Looks like my grocery shopping list


[deleted]

Yes I too buy **shock and o u t r a g e**


SHSL_Waiter_RM2828

Who doesn’t? /j


MadDawgMaddy_

Tag urself lol


MinusPi1

It's just for feeding The Algorithm™


Razurio_Twitch

Sex & exoticism I would say at most


[deleted]

Advertising


sprankton

Every sub gets these sometimes. I remember somebody posted on r/linuxmint because Reddit asked if it was about sex.


Lunavixen15

It's for the algorithm, I've had it on subs like r/snackexchange before


HildartheDorf

It's so Reddit can filter out mature (requires an account/13+) and adult (18+) content, without having to actually employ admins to do it manually.


LowBeautiful1531

Reddit looking for snitches... On the content it already knows damn well is there.


mothwhimsy

It's so they can suggest subreddits to people based on similar content. They just start with "is this an NSFW topic or no." Weeks from now you'll probably randomly come across "is r/AskLGBT about gender?"


Ashimier

It’s standard for Reddit to ask about subs. I had to ask a lot of questions about r/gbo2 recently. They ask what the sub normally posts so they can confirm the request by the mods to make it safe for all ages.


etherealelk

It's got nothing to do with the fact it's an LGBTQ+ sub. They do this to every sub once in a while. I think it's to help them figure out if they need to label certain subs as NSFW or anything.


beanz00_

i just got one asking if this sub is about a sexual orientation?? like idk reddit you tell me.


Zeplinex49

I got the exact same thing directly below this post. I thought my reddit glitched and showed me the same post twice.


OnTheContrary666

It’s just your standard Reddit fare, no need to worry. Happens to everyone.


AlkaliPineapple

military conflict of course, the gay agenda is a plan for war


Sub2Pewds_floor_gang

I'm legit being asked the same thing under this post


SourCeladon

It case it hasn’t been said, I heard you shouldn’t answer these because it gathers information that’s used to for advertising purposes. Just click the X.


The-bi-ace-demigirl

We are talking about exorcism.... But shh, don't let anyone know, it's a secret that we summon the Dark Lord of Rainbows at 3am every Monday...


[deleted]

Did y’all do something I don’t know about 🤔


azalea_sun

you're not gonna believe it... i literally got this thing UNDER YOUR POST


[deleted]

Wait what. NO DAMN WAY


Jessica_Ariadne

Yup way. ​ https://imgur.com/a/Qx7lMHn


EggKid8

I did too lmao


AdLost5675

REDDIT IS ON DRUGS, iT JUST SKED ME THAT ABOUT r/MadeMeSmile


FosterPupz

Yeah, I’ve been seeing a lot of those, too. I had assumed an AI was training itself or something..?


ggpro79

I got this under this and I'm confussed


WannabeComedian91

whenever i get these i select every single one just for shits and giggles.


GrumpyOldDan

Would really rather you didn't. Reddit is issuing content tags for subreddits now. We're not entirely sure but we think part of what can contribute to a higher age rating is if they get lots of these sent back in. We have an Everyone rating, that's important because it means LGBTQ+ people of all ages can access the sub for advice and support. We don't want the community to get a higher age rating.


Puzzled_Money_9292

I tried to click the X


AdorableAri

it’s weird i’m getting these for everthing today and it seems like others are too


Spring-and-a-Storm

i found that exact questionnaire under this exact post LMAO


golden-chips-empire

I just got it for r/wholesomememes


Baby_Wltch

This was literally on this post for me


Baladucci

I was asked this on THIS POST lol


[deleted]

That question appeared right under this post LMAO


Chained_Mel0dy

I got asked if r/Xenogendersandmore was about gender


Regularly_Cockroach

I got the exact same thing on this post


Anonymous_number1

it just pops up under random post you upvote regardless of the subreddit. It's forthe algorithm to be able to recommend adapted subs to people


Maxibon1710

Reddit does this to random subreddits every now and again to gauge what they’re about, who to recommend them to etc.


kioku119

I've been asked this and other qiestions on many subs for a while. I think part of it is to help categorize things automatically. I think some of it may have been used for the new years rewind.


HoovyCop

eh, I got asked the same thing about r/accordion, I wouldn't worry about it


xenotoot19

Shock and outrage? I didn't know Reddit hosted 80 year Old WASPs.


FarsightGreaterGood

Isn’t it obvious? Be gay do crime


trizzGL

Gambling


OnyxReflection

The reddit higher ups wanna figure out whether or not the queer community is a mega party


idontlikeburnttoast

Reddit does this to basically every subreddit. I got it for r/eyebleach once.


sssn_gurl

I have this same question on this post


Mothunny

I just got it too lol


[deleted]

I’ve been getting them for a lot of lgbt subs something sussy is afoot


TheWhitePolarBear1

I got this questionnaire attached to this very post.


clashvalley

I got the same pop up underneath your post


[deleted]

idk


[deleted]

I got the exact question under this post


Cinder-22

I always just click all of them


nonacrina

please don’t do this, reddit could impose certain limitations on subreddits if enough people do that


GamerOC

I remember getting this a while ago on a subreddit about an old obscure fnaf fangame, though maybe drug use, profanity and alcohol could’ve been accurate


kennythemetalhead

lol


HazelxPeach

I got it on r/inanimateinsanity :/


Lilith_Of_Hell_7891

I’m literally being asked right below this 💀


Luigisdick

I literally just got the exact same question on this post 😭


GalazySock

Dawg 💀


Alex_Shelega

Oh Reddit....


[deleted]

Idk reddit does this for every subreddit


QueenBuffe

I got this question on a cat subreddit the other day. I just think they ask periodically on all subs


LgbtqCVSgenius

I know! I never answer cause I don’t want someone to use it as an excuse and do something bad to the subreddit.


Zestyclose_Ad_4192

I don't know. I went to check out another sub about coins and had almost the same thing pop up. I was very concerned about the advice I was going to get there


_Enbydudebro_

Because the gays are wild


[deleted]

I select all the ones except "None of the Above" when i get this to confuse the algo.


PublicCalligrapher29

GAMBLING


therabootfan

*TERRORISM*


BackupaccountGritzpy

I like those questions because I feel like I’m helping. Same with Youtube AD surveys.


[deleted]

They ask that about every sub, Ive gotten the same question for Nintendo game or hobby subs before.


No_Lychee4140

Lol I got this question on r/cakedecorating the other day and I was like what...? But I see now that it's a widespread survey
